City Council Agenda Item No. 6a MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA STUDY SESSION FEBRUARY 13, 2012 CITY HALL—COUNCIL CHAMBERS CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center City Council met in Study Session called to order by Mayor Tim Willson at 6:00 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor Tim Willson and Councilmembers Carol Kleven, Kay Lasman, Lin Myszkowski, and Dan Ryan. Also present were City Manager Curt Boganey, Director of Fiscal and Support Services Dan Jordet, Director of Business and Development Gary Eitel, Director of Community Activities, Recreation and Services Jim Glasoe, City Clerk Sharon Knutson, Assistant City Manager/Director of Building and Community Standards Vickie Schleuning, and Carla Wirth, TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc. CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS Councilmember Lasman requested discussion on Agenda Items l0e, Hearing for Nelia Schaff Regarding Rental Property Located at 7018 Brooklyn Boulevard, and 10d, Hearing for Commers-Clover II LLP Regarding Rental Property Located at 6331, 6401, and 6425 Beard Avenue North; and 3401 47th Avenue North, specifically relating to whether the transaction listing reflected penalties and late payments. City Manager Curt Boganey advised there is a ten percent penalty on late payments of City utilities. Mayor Willson noted both properties have many late payments. Mr. Boganey concurred and advised this was not typical but may reflect a property owner who was having a difficult time paying bills. Councilmember Ryan requested discussion on Item 10e, Consideration of Type IV 6-Month Provisional Rental License for 6116 Aldrich Avenue North, specifically relating to the history of this applicant only being eligible for a Type IV license. He reviewed past considerations on this property and indicated it appeared the property owner had difficulty in being able to attend ARM meetings required as part of the Mitigation Plan. Assistant City Manager/Director of Building and Community Standards Vickie Schleuning explained the issues with this property involved attendance of ARM meetings, completing security improvements, inspection to assure items identified as outstanding on the original inspection are addressed, and submitting monthly updates. She indicated the property is in better 02/13/12 -1- DRAFT condition; however, this is the third time this property has been considered for licensing so a citation was issued for each item not completed in the Mitigation Plan. Councilmember Ryan asked whether staff did everything possible to make the process clear to the property owner. Ms. Schleuning answered in the affirmative and reviewed staff's recommendation as contained in the staff report. Councilmember Ryan commented that it is important to communicate clearly why the fines and procedures are followed to the letter and it speaks well of staff, based on the research conducted,to support the recommendation. MISCELLANEOUS Councilmember Kleven referenced a Friday, February 10, 2012, newspaper article indicating Minnesota will receive $280 million for mortgage assistance and asked if any of those funds will "trickle down" to Brooklyn Center. Mr. Boganey explained the beneficiaries will be private property owners,not government entities. Councilmember Kleven referenced information about the goal of the Single Creek and West Mississippi Water Management Commission to delist the City's lakes from MPCA/EPA/PCA by proving improved lake water conditions. Councilmember Lasman indicated she will be out of town from February 15-22, 2012. Councilmember Lasman referenced information on the Metropolitan Council's sanitary sewer collection and increase found after rain events. She asked how rain water would infiltrate the sanitary sewer. Mr. Boganey explained this is an issue of Inflow/Infiltration (1/I) where cracks/openings into the sanitary sewer system allow infiltration or there are unlawful connections between storm water downspouts and the sanitary sewer allowing inflow. He indicated that some cities required by the Metropolitan Council to reduce 1/I have performed block-by-block testing of the sanitary sewer lines to identify locations of inflow and infiltration. Mayor Willson stated his concern relating to a comment made during Sunday's ISAIAH Group meeting, during which the Governor, senators, and representatives were in attendance, lamenting the fact that people are pointed to Brooklyn Center, and not in the best of terms, and that Brooklyn Center does not have people of color in its administration. Mayor Willson noted both comments are not true and he intends to follow up. Councilmember Lasman noted the City started a program in February relating to starting new businesses, which is an issue of concern with the ISAIAH Group, so she had assured the Group was provided with that information. She stated it offends her to hear those comments were made. Councilmember Myszkowski stated she attended that meeting and explained the speaker felt she, as a woman of color, was steered to live in Brooklyn Center because she could not find appropriate housing in other suburbs. The speaker did not comment on business opportunities, but, perhaps, she misunderstood the comment. Councilmember Myszkowski stated she also did not hear mention of City administrative staff and thought the speaker was referencing elected 02/13/12 -2- DRAFT officials. The City Council expressed its concern with the perception these types of unfounded comments create for Brooklyn Center and employees. Councilmember Kleven stated she attended a meeting with the ISAIAH Group and found that none of the members from Brooklyn Center had issues. Councilmember Ryan stated his impression that the ISAIAH Group, not unlike many contacts the City Council has with public, does not understand all the "moving parts" in government and is seeking services for which the City is not charged to provide. Mayor Willson stated he takes strong exception when Brooklyn Center is singled out during a meeting where the Governor and legislators are in attendance, and he intends to register a complaint with the ISAIAH Group relating to these untrue statements. Councilmember Myszkowski stated she does not think the ISAIAH Group scripted the speaker's comments and indicated she will contact the speaker. DISCUSSION OF WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEMS AS TIME PERMITS DRAFT RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING CENTENNIAL MEMORIAL AMPHITHEATER FUNDRAISING TASK FORCE Mr. Boganey explained tonight's agenda includes receiving the report of the Centennial Memorial Amphitheater Fundraising Task Force on their efforts and recommendation. He explained the Committee has asked, now that the Centennial Committee has ceased operation, that the City Council designate their group as an Advisory Task Force so it can continue fundraising efforts to complete construction of the amphitheater. He recommended, if the City Council determined to enable such a committee, that it be undertaken by a resolution with identified parameters. Mayor Willson asked if it would be similar to the organization of the Centennial Committee. Mr. Boganey answered in the affirmative. The City Council discussed the request and indicated support to appoint such a Task Force, especially since the current ten volunteer members work so well together, are effective, and have ideas in how to move the amphitheater project forward. It was noted such appointment would also be supported by the public since no public dollars will be spent on the amphitheater, but will be funded through contributions. Dr. Duane Orn, Brooklyn Center Centennial Amphitheater Fundraising Committee Chair, agreed their members comprise a dynamic group that functions and works hard together. He noted last year they collected almost one-half of the funding needed through donation or in-kind service and hope to reach the funding goal next year. It was noted that donations are deposited to the 02/13/12 -3- DRAFT li City as a tax deductible contribution and the Committee has taken the position that if adequate funds are not generated,the contributions will be returned to the donor. The City Council indicated its support to consider this action through an enabling resolution. Mr. Boganey recommended several parameters to be contained within the resolution. Discussion of this item continued and reached conclusion during the February 13, 2012, Work Session. ADJOURNMENT Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to adjourn the Study Session at 6:45 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 02/13/12 -4- DRAFT I MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA REGULAR SESSION FEBRUARY 13, 2012 CITY HALL—COUNCIL CHAMBERS 1.

Thomas Paquette, 6613 Drew Avenue N., stated his concern with the disregard of the stop sign at the Garden City Elementary School and high speed of traffic on 66th Avenue, from Brooklyn Boulevard to Xerxes Avenue. He encouraged the Council to address these safety concerns before someone is injured. Mark Carrell, 5341 Brooklyn Boulevard, stated he recently purchased his home and is concerned about the bus traffic clientele from Twin Lakes Manor and the other apartment complex as well as loitering at the bus stop across from his home that results in police activity.

Ms. Schleuning recommended the following distribution: Senior Community Services H.O.M.E.

REQUEST TO AMEND THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER'S 2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE BY CHANGING "OS-OFFICE/SERVICE BUSINESS" LAND USE DESTINATION TO MIXED USE-OS/1 (OFFICE-SERVICE BUSINESS/INDUSTRIAL) FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4001 LAKEBREEZE AVENUE (AND GENERALLY LOCATED AND BOUND BY AZELIA AVENUE TO THE WEST, LAKEBREEZE AVENUE TO THE NORTH, AND HIGHWAY 100 TO THE EAST AND SOUTH). Planning and Zoning Specialist Tim Benetti provided an overview of Planning Commission Application No. 2012-001, an amendment to the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan by changing the land use of the former Northwest Athletic Club/Lifetime Fitness property located at 4001 Lakebreeze Avenue North along with the former Denny's Restaurant site, from OS- Office/Service Business to Mixed Use-OS/l Office-Service Business/Industrial. The goal is to combine the two parcels for development purposes. Mr. Benetti advised the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing at its January 26, 2012, meeting and recommends approval of the proposed amendment to the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan Update. The Council thanked staff for its thorough report and indicated its support, noting this is the first step to redevelopment of this property. 1. RESOLUTION NO. 2012-31 APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE 2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FROM OS-OFFICE/SERVICE BUSINESS TO MIXED USE OS/I — OFFICE-SERVICE BUSINESS/INDUSTRIAL, 02/13/12 -8- DRAFT RELATIVE TO THE COMMERCIAL ZONED LAND GENERALLY LOCATED IN THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE CITY, BOUNDED BY AZELIA AVENUE TO THE WEST, LAKEBREEZE AVENUE TO THE NORTH AND HIGHWAY 100 TO THE EAST AND SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY (FORMER NW ATHLETIC CLUB/LIFETIME FITNESS SITE—4001 LAKEBREEZE AVENUE) Councilmember Kleven moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2012-31 Approving an Amendment to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan from OS- Office/Service Business to Mixed Use OS/I — Office-Service Business/Industrial, Relative to the Commercial Zoned Land Generally Located in the Southwest Quadrant of the City, Bounded by Azelia Avenue to the West, Lakebreeze Avenue to the North and Highway 100 to the East and South of the Property (Former NW Athletic Chub/Lifetime Fitness Site — 4001 Lakebreeze Avenue) Motion passed unanimously. 10.

Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to ratify the Mayoral appointment of Ellen Davis, 5301 Russell Avenue N., #206, as Alternate Commissioner to the Shingle Creek and West Mississippi Watershed Management Commissions with a term to expire January 31, 2015. Motion passed unanimously. 10b. MAYORAL APPOINTMENT OF MEMBER TO SERVE ON PLANNING COMMISSION Mayor Willson offered and requested confirmation of his recommendation for appointment.

Motion passed unanimously. 10c. HEARING FOR NELIA SCHAFF REGARDING RENTAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7018 BROOKLYN BOULEVARD 02/13/12 -9- DRAFT Ms. Knutson advised that City Code Section 12-901 (9) requires that rental properties remain current with property taxes and City utilities during the term of the rental license and an application of relief had not been made. She presented the history of action taken relating to 7018 Brooklyn Boulevard, an apartment complex consisting of one building with eight units and advised of the number of days the taxes and utilities have remained unpaid for this property. It was noted that since 2008,there had been no delinquencies for this property. Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to open the hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Nelia Schaff, 1551 Woodside Court NE, Fridley, MN, owner of 7018 Brooklyn Boulevard, testified the reason for paying taxes late is having a 50% vacancy and she made an honest mistake thinking the payment was not required until January 30, 2012. Ms. Schaff stated she has made payment in full on the taxes but it was submitted after the deadline. With regard to utility payments, she indicated she had not yet received the bill. Thomas Schaff, 1551 Woodside Court NE, Fridley, MN stated he manages the building and has been working with Investigator Becky Boie to conduct background checks on potential renters; however, you are not able to check those under 18 years old or those the renter may allow to move in. He explained the 50% vacancy resulted because they have been working with the Police Department and evicted undesirable tenants. Mr. Schaff assured the City Council the taxes were paid, though too late so penalties/interest remained, and those costs plus the water bill will be paid this week during the grace period. He described the improvements they have made to the property and stated they have found the ARM meetings helpful in teaching them how to find good tenants. Mr. Boganey asked Mr. Schaff to provide the City Clerk with the correct mailing address for the utility billing. Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Ms. Knutson explained a suspension can be up to 90 days and once met, the owner does not need to reapply for a rental license, it would just continue. A revocation can be imposed up to one year and would require a reapplication. She indicated if a unit is vacant or vacates during the suspension or revocation term it cannot be filled; however, current tenants are allowed to remain. City Attorney Charley LeFevere advised that is correct, tenants are allowed to remain in residence and even though not licensed, the property owner is still obligated to comply with all provisions of the Code. Mayor Willson indicated support to consider a suspension of the license until the taxes and utility bills are paid in full and then the City Council can consider whether to forgive the suspension. Mr. LeFevere advised that is a viable option and since staff comes to this hearing 02/13/12 -10- DRAFT without prejudging the City Council's action, findings have not been prepared. If directed, staff will prepare findings for the City Council's consideration at the next meeting and by that date it will be known whether payment has been made. I Councilmember Ryan stated he would be inclined to support Mayor Willson's suggestion given the property owners have evicted tenants in cooperation with and based on the recommendation by the Police Department, which put them in a cash flow situation. Councilmember Lasman stated she is willing to consider suspension since this property does not have a history of delinquencies. She stated she hopes this fair and somewhat lenient action would result in the property owners assuring all future payments are made on time so they are not found to be in a delinquent situation again. Mayor Willson noted this applicant indicated they have been working with the Police Department but should things go awry he would be inclined to be less lenient. Councilmember Myszkowski stated she is in agreement with her colleagues and was impressed by the relationship and connection between the property owners and the Police Department and the community. She stated that the property owners care for their tenants so she finds a suspension to be a fair solution. Councilmember Kleven stated support for a suspension up to 90 days so the property owners can get their bills paid. Mayor Willson moved and Councilmember Lasman seconded to direct staff to prepare a resolution with findings of fact for a suspension of the rental license for property located at 7018 Brooklyn Boulevard for up to 90 days, suspending it upon payment of taxes and utilities, for consideration at the February 27, 2012, Council meeting. Motion passed unanimously. 10d. HEARING FOR COMMERS-CLOVER II LLP REGARDING RENTAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6331, 6401, AND 6425 BEARD AVENUE NORTH; AND 340147 TH AVENUE NORTH Ms. Knutson advised that City Code Section 12-901 (9) requires that rental properties remain current with property taxes and City utilities during the term of the rental license and an application of relief had not been made. She presented the history of action taken relating to 6331, 6401, and 6425 Beard Avenue North, an apartment complex comprised of three buildings with 36 units, and advised of the number of days the taxes and utilities have remained unpaid for this property. Ms. Knutson indicated the other property owned by Commers-Clover, 3401 47th Avenue N., is an apartment complex comprised of one building with 22 units. She presented the history of action taken relating to this property and advised of the number of days the taxes and utilities have remained unpaid for this property. 02/13/12 -11- DRAFT i �I Ms. Knutson advised that the rental license for these properties has expired. Application for renewal was made; however, cannot be processed due to delinquent property taxes and utilities. Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to open the hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Scott Clover, Clover Management, 4571 Trading Post Trail S., Afton, stated he has owned these properties since 1996. He described the problems that resulted when his property manager came down with Multiple Sclerosis and the property fell into disrepair and units were rented to undesirable tenants. Mr. Clover explained when this situation became evident a year ago, he hired Bob Wolf as the new property manager. Since that time, Mr. Wolfe has inspected the property, evicted undesirable tenants, and hired maintenance staff to complete the repairs. Mr. Clover stated all of his resources have gone to correcting violations but he can pay taxes and utilities by the next Council meeting if he can get an approval of a loan or cash in 401K funds. Bob Wolf, new property manager, reported on the findings of his extensive inspections, corrections made, and vacancy rates. He stated his projection for cash flow and vacancy to have both properties at 100% occupancy within one year. However to do so, they need the ability to rent vacant units so adequate revenue is generated to complete improvements. Councilmember Ryan asked Mr. Clover if his cash flow is adequate to keep taxes and utilities current. Mr. Clover assured the City Council he has adequate resources and noted there has never been a lack of rental traffic in Brooklyn Center but the issue is that his past property manager had rented to undesirable tenants, resulting in nonpayment of rent and an atmosphere that drove out good tenants. Councilmember Ryan asked Mr. Clover if he was able to make payment in the next two weeks. Mr. Clover stated he would certainly try but would ask until March 15,2012. Councilmember Kleven asked if there are on-site managers. Mr. Wolf answered in the affirmative and stated they are now doing a good job. Councilmember Lasman asked if the property owners and managers attend ARM meetings. Mr. Clover stated he is employed full-time as a property manager so he cannot attend day time ARM meetings. He stated they use Rental Research as part of the application process to do criminal background checks and Mr. Wolfe's application process is more thorough. Councilmember Kleven asked about police calls to the property. Mr. Wolf stated there were some police calls in the past, before he became involved, but the number is now extremely low. Mr. Clover stated some of the calls from tenants relate to seeing someone in the parking lot who does not belong or a loud stereo. Mr. Clover stated he is sorry for the situation and has not had to come before a City Council before tonight. Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the hearing. 02/13/12 -12- DRAFT Motion passed unanimously. Mayor Willson stated his support to direct staff to prepare findings of fact for a six-month revocation for consideration at the next Council meeting, at which time it can also be determined whether taxes and utilities have been paid. Councilmember Kleven concurred and stated the current managers should be required to attend ARM meetings, which would be beneficial. Mayor Willson noted that is a requirement for rental properties. Mr. Clover stated they will require their property managers to attend the ARM meetings if that is the direction of the Council. Councilmember Ryan noted the ordinance does not allow issuing a rental license until the back taxes and utilities are brought up to date. He asked if the property owner should be given the opportunity to cure the delinquencies and operate the property in accordance with City standards. He noted that a revocation will make it more difficult for the property owner to fill vacant units to generate the cash needed. Mayor Willson noted the City Council's action needs to be consistent, and this property owner has violated the City's ordinances, its rental license, and is delinquent on both taxes and utilities. Mayor Willson moved and Councilmember Lasman seconded (for discussion) to direct staff to prepare a resolution for the next City Council meeting with findings of fact for a six-month revocation of the rental license for property located at 6331, 6401, and 6425 Beard Avenue North; and, 3401 47th Avenue North. Mr. Boganey clarified the rental license for this property has expired so the appropriate motion may be for non-renewal. Mr. LeFevere concurred and noted the ordinance is not clear on this point but a revocation could be considered and, if desired, the property owner could be eligible to reapply after taxes and utilities are current. Councilmember Ryan asked if the revocation could be forgiven if payment is made. Mayor Willson stated if the motion for revocation is approved,then it would be for six months. Mr. LeFevere stated there is need to specify the date after which the City will accept a rental license. Mayor Willson noted that could be considered at the next meeting. Councilmember Lasman suggested the motion be amended to call it "non-renewal" since in this case there is not an active rental license. Mr. LeFevere stated staff will work out the language but non-renewal will have the impact of a revocation with a date specified before which they cannot apply and a date set when the revocation will end. Motion passed unanimously. 10e. CONSIDERATION OF TYPE IV 6-MONTH RENTAL LICENSE FOR 6116 ALDRICH AVENUE NORTH 02/13/12 -13- DRAFT i Assistant City Manager/Director of Building and Community Standards Vickie Schleuning advised that the owner of 6116 Aldrich Avenue North received a Type IV Rental License on September 12, 2011, on condition of adherence to the Mitigation Plan and City ordinances. The property would qualify for a Type II Rental License based on three property code violations and zero validated police nuisance incidents. However, the property owner failed to meet the conditions of the Type IV Rental License, specifically attending the Owners/Managers Association (ARM) meetings, completing security improvements, and submitting monthly updates. According to City ordinances, if the requirements of the license category and Mitigation Plan are not met, the license renewal category remains a Type IV. Ms. Schleuning reviewed actions taken in regard to this rental license application and indicated Staff has reviewed the Mitigation Plan, held discussion with the property owner, and recommends approval of the continued Type IV Rental License in lieu of denial, revocation, or suspension because the owner maintained the property in general compliance with property codes, it allows for additional time to comply with the Mitigation Plan promoting long-term compliance, and other penalties are provided by the process that are more effective than license denial at this time. Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to open the hearing. Motion passed unanimously. No one addressed the Council. Councilmember Kleven moved and Councilmember Lasman seconded to close the hearing. Motion passed unanimously. 1.

The property would qualify for a Type I Rental License based on property code violations and validated police nuisance incidents. However, the property owner has failed to comply with the Action Plan, specifically required attendance at ARM meetings and submittal of monthly updates. According to City ordinances, if the requirements of the license category and Action Plan are not met, the 02/13/12 -14- DRAFT license renewal category remains a Type IV. It was noted that the property was inspected and one property code violation was cited with a weather deferral. Ms. Schleuning reviewed actions taken in regard to this rental license application and indicated Staff has reviewed that Mitigation Plan, .held discussion with the property owner, and recommends approval of the continued Type IV Rental License in lieu of denial, revocation, or suspension because the owner made improvements to the condition of the property, and other penalties are provided by the process that seem to be more effective. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Myszkowski seconded to open the hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Govan Singh, 9812 Ford Circle, St. Louis Park, owner of 6101 Xerxes Avenue N., stated he has been the owner since 2001 and made an investment of over $5,000 to improve this property to attract a good renter. He explained he has tried to follow the Mitigation Plan but been unable to attend the required number of ARM meetings because he works full time. Mr. Singh asked the Council to waive the $600 fine for renting without a license since he had made reapplication by the required date when the rental license expired and was in the relicensing process. He stated he will pay the $150 citation for not attending ARM meetings,plan accordingly to not miss more ARM meetings,and submit the required monthly reports. Mr. Singh assured the City Council he was doing the best he can, has owned this rental property for over 11 years,this is his only rental property, and it is a great house. Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the hearing. Motion passed unanimously. 1.

Councilmember Lasman noted this property had a delinquent utility bill, which is grounds for revocation or suspension; however, staff is recommending continuing Type IV in recognition of improvements made to the condition of the property. Mr. Singh explained that payment of utilities is the renter's responsibility as part of the lease and he was not aware payment was delinquent until he received notice from the City. Mr. Boganey advised Mr. Singh of the process to appeal an administrative citation at an administrative hearing. Motion passed unanimously. 02/13/12 -15- DRAFT 10g. CONSIDERATION OF TYPE IV 6-MONTH RENTAL LICENSE FOR 5715 EMERSON AVENUE NORTH Ms. Schleuning advised that the owner of 5715 Emerson Avenue North received a Type IV Rental License on May 9, 2011, on condition of adherence to the Mitigation Plan and City ordinances. The property continues to qualify for a Type IV Rental License based on 11 property code violations and one validated police nuisance incident.

According to City ordinances, if the requirements of the license category and Mitigation Plan are not met, the license renewal category remains a Type IV. Ms. Schleuning reviewed actions taken in regard to this rental license application and indicated Staff has reviewed the Mitigation Plan, held discussion with the property owner, and recommends approval of a continued Type IV Rental License in lieu of license denial, suspension, or revocation.

Recruiting The Brooklyn Center Fire Department successfully recruited seven firefighter reserve members. Two of the new firefighter reserve members have come to our department with previous training and the remaining members are currently training approximately 6 hours a week with new firefighter recruits from our neighboring communities. Smoke Alarm and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Program The fire department worked hard to create a smoke and carbon monoxide alarm program to benefit the citizens of Brooklyn Center. "More information is provided in the Public Education area of this report. Explorer Program The Brooklyn Center Fire Department is pleased to announce the formation of the Brooklyn Center Fire Explor- ers. With 7 inaugural members the Brooklyn Center Fire Explorers looks forward to many years of growing and serving the community while training the firefighters of tomorrow. ISO Audit An audit was conducted in 2011 to assess the City's fire protection. Insurance Services Office (ISO) is the princi- pal provider of underwriting, rating, and statistical information to the insurance industry in the United States. ISO collects information on a community's public fire protection and analyzes the data using a Fire Sup- pression Rating Schedule. They then assign a Public Protection Classification from 1 to 10. Class 1 represents the best public protection, and Class 10 indicates no recognized protection. Insurance companies rely upon ISO's PPC program to help establish fair premiums for fire insurance — generally offering lower premiums in communities with better fire protection. Our current classification is 4. We are currently awaiting the ISO's rating from the 2011 audit. 2011 Emergency Management Review The purpose of Emergency Management is to save lives and prevent loss of property. The community needs to be aware of the elements that can threaten their lives and property. Once the threat is identified,the essential re- sources can be determined to assist in restoring the area back to an acceptable status. This is accomplished through education and disaster planning and training. There were no events that required the EOC to be activated in 2011.The 30 year old siren located at the corner of Freeway Boulevard and Humboldt Avenue was replaced with a new,more powerful siren. This leaves one siren left to be replaced which is anticipated for 2013.Member of the emergency management team are active members of the North Suburban Emergency Planning Group. Twice a year our team attends valuable training opportunities provided by the Association of Minnesota Emergency Management and Minnesota Homeland Security. o � Page s 2011 Statistics Total Runs Per Year 2500 -- • BCFD responded to 1,909 incidents in 2000 — 2011. 1.500 • 9% increase over y 2010. rd Duty-Calls • 2011 had the second tH 1000 All-Calls lowest number of all- calls since 2007. 500 6 0 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 (1,061) (1,103) (1,224) (1,752) (1,909) Emergency Response Times (Excluding Mutual Aid) 07:12 - -----a= - _ 06:55 06:37 06:20 . .

Those two workers handle avast majority of all the cases originating in Broold y n Center. 1 le<Nl llih lil'illl;,ll I" ry ha,I V'tl J!I t I,. .. ... ..... . . .,.._. ,..... ,... .,...,_ ......._. v ,,. 3 r.._ r� 47 17 9{L tr7-. �v� §:• ria �lt,.slid 7.,1.7, l 11�:,7,111... 1 I ,.�.n.',, .; I a: � W ,., } �.I. ... .ta i's4 ;.7 .,7 aI. a r�.P.,1+77.r.7.s.. ��>�:�.�� lll4 .1,. .a_..,. s �•� r ..{:.:=h rv,..

Addressing them as early as possible yields the highest success of a positive solution. Moving Forward: • The on-going partnership will continue in 2012. • We hope to have all CPS cases assigned to the two in-house workers.. • An increase in communication and reduction in duplication of services when involving CPS cases.

Brookl v n Park/ Brooklyn Center/ Hennepin County Investigation Collaboration • This was an idea fostered by the chief law enforcement officers of each agency. • thought was to share investigative resources that are The g g geographically close and have common crime concerns. • It was found in a number of serious crime reports that the Brooldl Y n's have the same perpetrators committing crimes in both cities. • Using an intelligence-based crime fighting response we decided to share information and resources.

This was previously unavailable. • The detectives are able to use other department's resources, specialty units, and investigative techniques. They use those resources while investigating crime regardless of where they occurred. Moving Forward: • In 2012, it is proposed that Hennepin County will bring in two investigators and BPPD will also offer two detectives while BCPD contributes one detective. I :''., '-; , ,..

Benefits: u As of November 30th, we had referred 541 youth offenders to diversion. o . We've reacted quicker to the juvenile offenses. The time from offense to consequence is drastically reduced to weeks. o Consequences are meaningful through diversion and attendance in an established program. o The juvenile officer makes contact with each juvenile and their parents. Moving forward: • The development of a shorter curfew-specific diversion course. • We will continue to support and house the diversion classes within our building. This makes attending the course possible with minimal transportation concerns. • An increase in personal contact between the juvenile officer and at-risk kids. r jy" a yn u � ft Grant OF r This grant pays for the wages and benefits of the auto theft officer from 12/12/11 — 6/30/13 .

RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS OF FACT AND ORDER RELATING TO 7018 BROOKLYN BOULEVARD A hearing was held by the Brooklyn Center City Council on 13th day of February, 2012, at 7:00 pm at the Brooklyn Center City Hall on the matter of the rental license of Nelia Schaff for an apartment complex at 7018 Brooklyn Boulevard pursuant to Sections 12-901 and 12-910 of the Brooklyn Center City Code. Evidence on the alleged violations was represented by Sharon Knutson, City Clerk. The licensee appeared and evidence was presented by Nelia Schaff and Thomas Schaff. Having heard and duly considered the evidence presented at the hearing and having given due regard to the frequency and seriousness of the violation, the ease with which the violation could have been cured or avoided and good faith efforts to comply, the Council makes the following FINDINGS OF FACT and ORDER: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. Nelia Schaff is the holder of a regular rental license for properties located at 7018 Brooklyn Boulevard. 2. City Code Section 12-901, paragraph 9 provides that at all times during the term of a rental license, the licensee shall be current in payments of taxes, utilities and assessments. 3. Notice of this proposed license action was mailed to Nelia Schaff. 4. Received in evidence was a copy of the notice of proposed license action and the letter serving the notice, and copies of Hennepin County tax payment status and utility billing history. 5. The City Clerk testified that taxes totaling $6,396.77 that had been unpaid and delinquent at the time of giving notice of the hearing had been paid by February 7, 2012, except for a balance remaining of $481.20 and that utility charges in the amount of$918.96 were unpaid and delinquent as of February 9, 2012. 6. There are certain mitigating circumstances in this case. The licensee misread certain information on the tax statement. The licensee states that she did not receive a utility bill, which may have resulted from the fact that the City has several addresses on file to which it sends notices and bills. Since 2008, there have been no prior delinquencies in payment of taxes or City utilities. RESOLUTION NO. BASED UPON SAID FINDINGS,the City Council now makes the following ORDER 1. The rental housing license held by Nelia Schaff for the rental dwellings at 7018 Brooklyn Boulevard is hereby suspended. The license will not be reinstated until all payments are current in accordance with City Code, Section 12-901,paragraph 9. 2. This suspension applies to all parts of 701.8 Brooklyn Boulevard. 3. Suspension shall be effective on and from February 27, 2012. 4. The City Clerk is directed to mail a copy of this Resolution to the licensee. 5. The licensee is advised that Brooklyn Center City Code, Section 12-910, paragraph 8, prohibits the reletting, rental or occupancy of rental units that are vacant at the time of suspension and/or that become vacant during the period of suspension and until the licensee has a valid rental license. 6. The licensee is further advised that Brooklyn Center City Code, Section 12-910, paragraph 8 also provides that suspension shall not excuse the owner from compliance with all terms of state law and codes and the City Code of Ordinances for as long as any units in the facility are occupied. Failure to comply with all the terms of the City Code, Chapter 12 during the term of the suspension is a misdemeanor and grounds for a decision not to issue a new license.

If the Council chooses not to issue the license, it is recommended that the motion be to direct staff to prepare proposed findings for denial of the rental license and draft said resolution for the next Council meeting. Background: This owner is applying for a renewal rental license. This property qualifies for a Type IV provisional rental license based on four property code violations found during the initial rental license inspection and six validated police incidents/nuisance calls for the past twelve months. Staff from Administration, Building& Community Standards and Police Departments worked extensively with the property owner regarding the previous tenant behaviors,property improvements and the rental license process. A mitigation plan, which requires Phase I, II and III of the Crime Free Housing Program, and other items included by City ordinance for a Type IV License has been developed addressing the requirements of the ordinance and any issues specific to the property. The following is a brief history of the license process actions: 09-02-2011 Sherman Kho applied for renewal of the rental dwelling license for 2701 O'Henry Road, a single family dwelling. 09-29-2011 An initial rental inspection was rescheduled since the tenants were scheduled to move out. It was in poor condition. 09-30-2011 The rental license expired. 10-03-2011 The tenants moved out and property became vacant. The inspector spoke with the owner on the phone. The owner explained that repairs could not be conducted due to legal aide issues. 10-05-2011 The property was posted as unlicensed. 10-24-2011 The owner notified staff that he is making the repairs and the property is still vacant. 12-16-2011 An initial rental inspection was conducted, four property code violations were cited, see attached rental criteria. 01-10-2012 A second rental inspection was conducted and passed. 01-10-2012 City records indicate six validated police incident/nuisance calls occurred in the past twelve months.

If approved, after six months, a new rental license is required. In this case, the license process will begin immediately. The new license will be based on the property code violations found during the initial renewal license inspection and the number of validated police calls for services for disorderly activities and nuisances as defined in 12-911. The terms of the mitigation plan must also be met. Excerpt from Chanter 12 of City Code of Ordinances: Section 12-913. TYPE IV PROVISIONAL LICENSES. 1.

The mitigation plan shall describe steps proposed by the applicant to reduce the number of police and fire calls and/or the property Code issues described in Section 12-901 and 12-911 to a level that qualifies for a Type I, II, or III license. The mitigation plan may include such steps as changes in tenant screening procedures, changes in lease terms, security measures,rules and regulations for tenant conduct, security personnel, and time frame to implement all phases of the Crime Free Housing Program. 4.

Compliance with Mitigation Plan. The licensee shall comply with the mitigation plan as approved or modified by the Council. No later than the tenth day after each calendar month,the licensee shall mail or deliver to the City Manager a written report describing all steps taken in furtherance of the mitigation plan during the preceding month.

License categories are performance based and more accurately depict the condition of the property and the City costs of service. 2. Fees. Fee amounts are determined by the costs of the city to license, inspect,monitor and work with the property to ensure category conditions are met. License fees do not include reinspection fees, late fees, charges for criminal or civil enforcement actions, or other penalties. 3. Category Conditions. The licensee or designated agent must meet the category conditions in the time period specified by the City. A licensee must meet all original conditions required by the License Category, even if a subsequent license category is achieved. 4. License Category Criteria. a. Property Code and Nuisance Violations. Property code violation rates will be based on the average number of property code violations per unit identified during the licensing inspection or category verification inspection. Property code violations for purposes of determining licensing categories shall include violations of property code and nuisances as defined in Chapter 12, 19, 7 and other applicable local ordinances. The City may,upon complaints or reasonable concerns that the establishment no longer complies with the license category criteria, perform a category verification inspection to the same standards as the license renewal inspection as indicated below.

Background: Mr. Mike Tupa the former owner of Oak City Restaurant has made a request for a prorated refund of the $11,000 Liquor License Fee paid to the City for the 2012 calendar year. Mr. Tupa sold his business to a new owner on or about January 22, 2012, and would like a refund. The City Ordinance as currently written does not provide for a refund. All license applicants are informed at the time of application that the fees are not refundable. Over the years there have been several other licensees who sold their properties and made similar requests. Those licensees were advised the fee is non-refundable. The City Attorney has advised that State Statute provides that a City "may" choose to provide a refund at its discretion. For the City of Brooklyn Center to provide a refund the City Ordinance language should be modified to allow for this change in policy. The City Clerk has done some research to determine what the "typical" practice is among other cities as it relates to liquor license refunds. I have attached the results of her brief survey of similar sized suburban communities. From the survey it is apparent that there is a great deal of variation in the way cities approach this issue. Policy Issues: Will the interest of the City be best served by allowing a prorated refund to Liquor License holders that sell their business during the approved license period?

Greetings from Sunny Mesa, AZ! Hope all is well there in Brooklyn Center. We are having a lovely time here. I had my meeting with the Mesa city officials this morning and had a good discussion on dealing with issues pertaining to a diverse community. The director of Diversity Outreach, a councilmember, and the vice mayor were in attendance. I will bring some of the information from the meeting to our next meeting, so if there isn't a huge amount of stuff on the agenda, I would like to have it included on the work session agenda or one soon after that. If those agendas are too full already, maybe it could be added as a short addendum to the miscellanous section of the retreat. Hopefully Don as saved some time for that in the day's agenda. Thanks.

Also, could you tell the CSO that delivers the wrap up or anything else that may be delivered while we are out of town (Feb. 15-22)to be sure to deliver it to the back door and just put it between the doors (inside the screen door). Thank you. See you at the meeting tonight.

Do you have problems with diverse populations sharing common public spaces,such as parks? This has been a problem in the past, but isn't currently an issue. 2. What are the ratios of races in your schools? The school's principal 1 met with, has a population of mainly Hispanic students with 95%of the students qualifying for free or reduced lunches. There are very few behavior issues in this school, in spite of the poverty situation. 3. Is bullying much of a problem between groups(ethnicities;boys vs.girls;gay, lesbian, bisexual,etc.) There is a problem with adults bullying each other-the "Don't take my job", issues is prevalent. 4. Are all ethnicities represented in your city staff,city commissions,elected officials?Non whites are not represented in these areas-all are caucasion. S. What programs do you have in place to encourage minorities to participate in community events/programs/elections?

They did a full staff training in 2OO ewd do updates for new employees in an ongoing manner. 8. Are you an "at large"community or do you have districts or some other type of subdivision representing your elected officials? If you have subdivisions,are they racially balanced? They are at large for the Mayor and have 6 districts for the councilmembers-the City of Mesa has a population of 440,000, and is M square riles th sire. 9. What is your most difficult challenge with diversity issues?New emerging communities is a difficult issue-recently the newest large group influx in Mesaf.is Japanese newcomers. Getting to know the new group's leaders,customs, as well as building trust, building relationships-all being done in small steps,soak as going to where thhrgother(churches- gatherings,etc) Learning about what the newcomers'expectations are, what their fears are, what resources are needed, and gethering end addressesfor communication, are all good things to help assist in avoiding issues with new groups. 10.

Rev 05109 Work Session Agenda Item No. 4 MEMORANDUM - COUNCIL WORK SESSION DATE: February 27, 2012 TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager FROM: Vickie Schleuning�'Assistant City Manager/Director of Building and Community Standards SUBJECT: Draft Ordinance for Vehicle, Parking, and Maintenance Requirements Recommendation: Please review the following draft ordinance and give feedback to staff. Background: In 2005 and 2006 the City Council and the Housing Commission reviewed issues relating to restricting the number of vehicles at property. An ordinance amendment to chapter 19 was proposed at the March 27, 2006 Council Meeting. The ordinance amendment was tabled for the review of other options such as increased enforcement of the current ordinance. In March of 2008 code changes were made to chapter 19-1300. These amendments provided for stronger and clearer language for the enforcement of inoperable vehicles. At the time of this ordinance change, it was suggested that staff review the impact this code change would have in improving the appearance and safety of the neighborhood. Then,this information would be used in order to determine what, if any, additional steps would be suggested in the future to further improve vehicle related issues. Overall,the ordinance change regarding junk/inoperable vehicles has been successful in reducing blight and associated resident concerns. One change included the ability for the city to remove a junk/inoperable vehicle and charge the costs back to the property owner. This enforcement tool has been instrumental in achieving compliance, even though it has rarely been used to achieve compliance. Administrative penalties have also improved compliance. On August 23, 2010 a resident addressed the Council requesting an ordinance to restrict the number of vehicles allowed to be parked outside at a residential property. Current Ordinance Summary A summary of the current city ordinances in relation to vehicle standards at residential property is provided below: • All vehicles stored at a property must be properly licensed and in operable condition. • All vehicles stored at property must be owned by a resident of the property,with the exception of temporary guests. • Vehicles stored in the front yard or side setback(not defined as side yard), must be located on an approved surface such as gravel,bituminous or concrete. Mission:Ensuring an attractive,clean,safe community that enhances the quality,of life andpreserves thepublic irust� j MEMORANDUM - COUNCIL WORK SESSION • Commercial vehicles may not be parked on residential properties except for reasonable deliveries or service up to 2 hours. • Vehicles may not be stored on the street overnight between the hours of 2 am and 6 am, or for more than 6 continuous hours. Based on feedback received from the City Council, several ordinance amendments have been drafted and are attached for consideration. Summary of Draft Ordinances A summary of the requirements of the draft ordinance amendments is as follows: • All vehicles must be parked on either an impervious surface or a grandfathered gravel parking surface in any yard area-front, back, sides. • An improved surface and impervious surface is defined. • Grandfathering conditions for existing well-maintained gravel driveways and parking areas are prescribed. • Standards for driveway installation and maintenance are established for both improved and gravel driveway and parking areas. • Definitions for front, side and rear yards at a property are provided. • Requirements for the amount of improved and impervious surfaces allowed for a single family lot(in R-1 and R-2 zones) in front yard and total lot are established. Citywide Survey_ In November 2011, city staff reviewed 2,275 single family/single family attached properties (approximately 29 percent)randomly selected throughout the city in order to determine the impact of the drafted ordinance amendments. The findings of the survey are briefly summarized below. • An estimated 33% of properties would be in violation of the new waste container location requirement. • 49% of the properties surveyed had a driveway that was located within three feet of the property. • 1%of properties surveyed have gravel driveways/parking areas that could potentially be grandfathered and remain gravel,while three driveways were dirt. • 7% of properties surveyed would be in violation of the drafted parking requirements. This number is anticipated to be higher since the survey does not include any vehicles that were located in the backyard or areas not visible from the street. Council Goals: Strategic: 1.
